I think one thing to note is that tuning is something of an art, opinion, appraisal.

One tuner will always pick apart someone elses tune.

You go back to the original tuner, ask him about the apparent discrepancies and I'm sure there'll be some justification, excuse etc.

You can only go by people's past record and good word.

Does anyone know if the hitman will tune a factory ecu? (using a ROM emulator + chip burner?)

Got a daughterboard in my ecu and now with more mods need to get that baby tuned!

hmmm i'm contemplating doing (what might be a silly move) and going with a somewhat unknown workshop/garage out at berowra, i've mentioned them before and have heard alright things from on here and really good things from outside.

had a chat to him a few weeks ago and was pretty convinced.

i'm just scared of the old saying you get what you pay for, (dont know what he charges anyway but it would probably be less than the bigger well known workshops) coming to bite me on the bum.... but then again if that was 100% accurate everone would have the exact same most expensive tune and others would be out of business

will keep you informed

The worse case is that you hanging over all parts you want them to put in, and discover later that they have been replace with something different..and you went back there and they denied..

Also make sure you don't rely on the simple dyno print out; number could be faked, unless it's done in shootout mode....

I don't have one (yet, maybe will get one)

but I would probably go to CRD, my friend works there and I Have heard numerous good things. had a couple of small things done and no problems.

other then that, I was chatting to a guy last night who has an S15 and has had it tuned by hitman a couple times and had no probs

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
